i have an asus sabertooth Z170 S, after seeing the disclaimers about the 11.0.12.1008 fw & flashed it since it seemed to be fine. fwupd stopped at 99% & said the firmware failed to respond to the request i think, i couldnt do any more as it told me to reboot. i did it anyway & it posted & booted, i tried updating to the same me fw again, now it goes to 100% & says all is fine, then i did the usual me fw reset after second flash. before flashing my fw status reg 3 said 200.

here is the output of it now after flash

@ Yuno:

Thank you Yuno for registering to help out with this case. Very good report, let's see:

Zitat von Yuno im Beitrag #2197
fwupd stopped at 99% & said the firmware failed to respond to the request i think, i couldnt do any more as it told me to reboot. i did it anyway & it posted & booted, i tried updating to the same me fw again, now it goes to 100% & says all is fine, then i did the usual me fw reset after second flash.

As you said, for some people the update from NOPDM to PDM doesn't go as planned but for others it does. In your case it stopped at 99% the first time but at least it was basically flashed. A common observation is that the 2nd attempt with FWUpdate always works for some reason, whether an error was shown before flashing ("invalid image") or during like you. I don't know what's the factor behind such behavior. Either way, run MEManuf as well to be more certain that everything works as expected. Other than that, you should be good to go.

Zitat von Yuno im Beitrag #2197
before flashing my fw status reg 3 said 200. here is the output of it now after flash [...]

Perfect, so before (NOPDM) you had 200 whereas now (PDM) you have 020. Another validation of what I said before.

Again, I appreciate your assistance Yuno.

@ Yuno:

Yeap, you are good then.

@ tecnics:

You haven't given me any system information but based on the 11.0.11.1005 H firmware I assume that you had 11.0.11.1005 CON-H (NOPDM) and tried to flash 11.0.12.1008 CON-H (PDM). I also assume that the update via FWUpdate reported an error mid way through the update. Am I correct? If yes, your's is one of the cases where updating from the NOPDM to PDM firmware causes problems. But instead of guessing, can you tell me exactly what happened before the problem appeared? If you run Flash Programming Tool with command fptw -d spi.bin , does it complete successfully or do you see a cpu access error?

@ tecnics:

Exactly, I was going to suggest just that. Reflashing with FWUpdate will solve such an issue because the problem was reported at BUPLoadState (BUP = BringUp) which is part of FTPR section which in turn is one of two sections that FWUpdate can update and reflash (FTPR & NFTP). So in theory reflashing will fix such NOPDM to PDM issues (provided that the system boots first).

You said NOPDM --> 200 which is what you had before (11.0.11.1005). Now that you are at 11.0.12.1008, it's 020, correct?

Zitat von plutomaniac im Beitrag #2047

Hello,

I finally got a CH341A USB programmer from ebay and flashed my board's SPI with your file and it works now. My motherboard seems to be now fully functional (at least it boosts normally) and I have the IME version displayed in the bios. I will have to test the functions within windows as I should now be able to install the IME related drivers/softwares.

The most boring part was actually installing the CH314A usb driver as windows 10 64 refused the none signed file (had to reboot in advanced mode to allow the driver installation).

Thank you very much.

@ abstract:

Yes those Chinese drivers can be messy to install on 64-bit architectures. It's good that your system is working again. To check if the ME operates ok you can run MEInfo (no red errors) and MEManuf (green passed message) which are found at the first post.

As you can see, FW Status Register3: 0x00000000 and firmware version is 11.0.0.1168 H. ME Analyzer shows instead 11.0.0.1180, Region, but Extracted, Consumer H and NOPDM.

@art_ii

Thank you for your registering to post your feedback art_ii.

Every firmware before a threshold (11.0.0.1202 currently, could be wrong) is automatically listed as NOPDM so both 1168 and 1180 fall under that category.

It's the first time I'm seeing a "FW Status Register3" of "0x00000000". Maybe because of the ancient firmware you current have. Have you applied the latest BIOS update from MSI first? Maybe it will get updated to 1180 and if yes, can you show me another MEInfo -verbose log?

For the latest version and in order to be on the safe side, you should flash 11.0.11.1005_CON_H_D0_NOPDM_PRD_RGN until we know more about PDM. After flashing please show me another MEInfo -verbose output.

Hi, Is this a PDM or NON-PDM version ?

It's a board with and XMG U706 (Z170)

Hello @Fetakungen

Thank you for registering to show your MEInfo report. As I said at the previous post of mine, I have never seen such a "FW Status Register3" before. Can you show your entire MEInfo -verbose log and not just the beginning?

EDIT:

Ah, you edited with MEA -info which shows current FW version of 11.0.0.1168 like the previous guy above with an MSI Z170 system. He had 0x000000 as well. Maybe these older firmware were showing 000 instead of 200 or 020 like I expect. Either way, back then there was no PDM firmware so it's definitely NOPDM.

The latest firmware that your OEM includes (11.0.1.1001) reports as Unkown (UKPDM) at MEA currently as I'm waiting for a report in the next days from a user who can test these and tell me if it's PDM or NOPDM. Have you updated to that latest BIOS? If not, can you update and if the ME gets updated to 11.0.1.1001, can you show me another MEInfo -verbose report to see if it's NOPDM or PDM? If the BIOS is updated but the ME stayed at 11.0.0.1168 then move on to the next paragraph.

Either way, we know that 11.0.11.1005 CON-H is NOPDM so you can update to that if you like. The latest CON-H of 11.0.12.1008 is PDM so there is that coin toss risk as mentioned at the first post's warning when going from NOPDM to PDM. If you can restore your full SPI image then give it a try, otherwise stick with 11.0.11.1005 (last NOPDM we have) for now.
